Formscan By John O'Riordan - It is difficult to look past ROCKY'S HOWYA(6) in his bid for yet another win in this grade. Looking as good as ever when readily landing a similar contest at Bellewstown in August, the Declan Queally-trained veteran is a previous course and distance winner. Jockey Kevin Healy is back in the saddle here and the admirable 10-year-old is one of few that can be almost guaranteed to run his race. Runner-up to the selection at Bellewstown, Rich Belief subsequently reverted to the Flat to finish third at this track last month. In better form than the majority of rivals, the Make Believe gelding could again provide the main threat. Plontier is very well treated but needs to recover his form.
